The Midwest Cyber Security Alliance (MCSA), founded by Jennifer Rathburn, a Data Security & Privacy Partner at Foley & Lardner LLP in Milwaukee, exists to help industry practitioners protect their organizations from cyber threats, and to provide a forum for the exchange for information and best practices. The meeting, which includes networking and cocktails, will be held on May 18th from 4:30-6:30PM at Foley & Lardner's Milwaukee offices at 777 East Wisconsin Avenue, and will address the growing ransomware problem and how businesses can prepare for and respond to these emerging attacks.
